The Best London Broil Recipe
  1. Place the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, onion powder and smoked paprika in a bowl or in a resealable gallon sized freezer bag. Whisk to combine.

  2. Add the meat to the marinade. Marinate the meat for at least 2-3 hours, or up to 6 hours. Turning the bag once.

  3. One hour before cooking: Remove steak from marinade (reserving the marinade in the fridge) and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes. With a sharp knife, score a shallow, ⅛-inch deep criss-cross pattern on both the top and bottom of the steak.

  4. Sear Steak: Melt butter and oil in a large cast iron skillet set over high heat until sizzling. Sear the steak for 3 minutes, undisturbed, then flip and repeat on the opposite side.

  5. Rest Meat: Remove the pan from the heat and tent it with foil. Leave it to continue cooking in the residual heat of the pan to your desired doneness, 5-10 minutes, using a thermometer to check the temperature. 120-130 degrees F is rare, while 130-135 degrees F is medium rare.

  6. Reduce Marinade: Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. Carefully pour the reserved marinade in the same pan and return it to the stove. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to medium low, stirring occasionally, and cook until the marinade is reduced by half.

  7. Serve Meat: Slice rested meat thinly, diagonally across the grain, and serve with the reduced sauce.
